Psalms 17
1 A prayer of David. Listen to my plea for justice, Yahweh; pay attention to my call for help! Give ear to my prayer from lips without deceit.
Usliši, Gospode, pravdu, èuj glas moj, primi u uši molitvu moju ne iz usta lažljivijeh.
2 Let my vindication come from your presence; let your eyes see what is right!
Od lica tvojega neka izaðe sud moj, oèi tvoje neka pogledaju na pravicu.
3 If you test my heart, if you come to me in the night, you will purify me and will not find any evil plans; my mouth will not transgress.
Ispitaj srce moje, obidi noæu; u ognju me okušaj, i neæeš naæi nepravde moje.
4 As for the deeds of mankind, it is at the word of your lips that I have kept myself from the ways of the lawless.
Usta se moja ne dohvataju djela ljudskih; radi rijeèi usta tvojih držim se putova oštrih.
5 My steps have held firmly to your tracks; my feet have not slipped.
Utvrdi stope moje na stazama svojim da ne zalaze koraci moji.
6 I call to you, for you answer me, God; turn your ear to me and listen when I speak.
Tebe prizivljem, jer æeš me uslišiti, Bože! prigni k meni uho svoje, i èuj rijeèi moje.
7 Show your covenant faithfulness in a wonderful way, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their enemies!
Pokaži divnu milost svoju, koji izbavljaš one koji se u te uzdaju od onijeh koji se protive desnici tvojoj.
8 Protect me like the apple of your eye; hide me under the shadow of your wings
Èuvaj me kao zjenicu oka: sjenom krila svojih zakloni me
9 from the presence of the wicked ones who assault me, my enemies who surround me.
Od bezbožnika koji na me napadaju, od neprijatelja duše moje, koji su me opkolili.
10 They have no mercy on anyone; their mouths speak with pride.
Srce svoje zatvoriše; ustima svojim govore oholo.
11 They have surrounded my steps. They set their eyes to strike me to the ground.
Izagnavši me opet su oko mene; oèi su svoje uprli da me obore na zemlju.
12 They are like a lion eager for a victim, like a young lion crouching in hidden places.
Oni su kao lav koji hoæe da rastrže, i kao laviæ koji sjedi u potaji.
13 Arise, Yahweh! Attack them! Throw them down on their faces! Rescue my life from the wicked by your sword!
Ustani, Gospode, preteci ih, obori ih. Odbrani dušu moju maèem svojim od bezbožnika,
14 Rescue me from men by your hand, Yahweh, from men of this world whose prosperity is in this life alone! You will fill the bellies of your treasured ones with riches; they will have many children and will leave their wealth to their children.
Rukom svojom, Gospode, od ljudi ovijeh, od ljudi ovoga svijeta, kojima je dio ovaj život, kojima si trbuh napunio svoga bogatstva, da æe im i sinovi biti siti i ostatak ostaviti svojoj djeci.
15 As for me, I will see your face in righteousness; I will be satisfied, when I awake, with a sight of you.
A ja æu u pravdi gledati lice tvoje; kad se probudim, biæu sit od prilike tvoje.
